Beall Elected President
Dr. Paul R. Beall, of Annapolis, Maryland, educator and nationally-known
management consultant to aerospace industries, has been elected president of
Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Election of Dr. Beall by the Oglethorpe board of trustees was announced
by Virgil W. Milton, board chairman.
He succeeds Dr. Donald Agnew, who resigned in February to head a major
foundation project in college and secondary school education.
Dr. Beall assumed his duties as president of the 49-year-old institution
October 1. In the interim Dean George C. Seward has served as acting president.
Mr. Milton said a special committee of trustees and faculty members has
spent the last six months searching for a new Oglethorpe president.
"We have interviewed a number of persons," Mr. Milton said. "We are
confident that we have found exactly the right man. He will lead Oglethorpe
through an important expansion program that will include a number of new
buildings and an increase in the student body from its present 450 to approxi-
mately 1,000."
Dr. Beall is a native of Des Moines,
Iowa. He was graduated from Grinnell
College in 1932 with an AB degree in
economics. He studied law at Harvard
University in 1935-36, and received an
MA degree in speech and speech sci-
ence from the University of Michigan
in 1940.
He received a Ph.D. in speech and
English from Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity in 1948.
He taught speech and English at the
University of Michigan 1939-41 and at
Pennsylvania State University 1941-50.
In 1950, Dr. Beall became director
of information for the Research and
Development Board of the Defense De-
partment, Washington, D. C., and in
1952 served as scientific advisor to the
commanding general of Air Research
and Development Command of the
U. S. Air Force in Baltimore. On a
number of other occasions he has
served as scientific advisor to various
air force commands in this country and
abroad.
He was advisor to the original faculty
group that established the U. S. Air
Force Academy.
Since 1960 Dr. Beall has served as
management consultant on oral and
written presentations for numerous
firms in the aerospace industry.
His current clients include Lockheed
Aircraft Corporation, the Martin-Mari-
etta Company, Westinghouse Electric
Corporation, the General Precision
Company and the Allison Division of
General Motors.
He is a past president of the Na-
tional Conference on Administration
of Research, a member of several pro-
fessional societies and of the Cosmos
Club, Washington, D. C.
'I am enthusiastic about the challenge
and the opportunity at Oglethorpe,"
said Dr. Beall. "Both industry and
education have learned that the most
important need for young people today
is to learn how to live a good life — not
merely how to make a good living.
Oglethorpe has pioneered in this field,
and its contributions are now being
Or. Paul R. Beall
recognized throughout the educational
world." He said the first steps in the
expansion of the college will be the
building of a new library, a new science
building and two dormitories in order
to provide facilities for a student body
approximately twice as large as the
present one.

As a reminder, Oglethorpe Univer-
sity's women graduates are now eligible
for membership in the American Asso-
ciation of University Women.
This organization was founded to in-
crease educational opportunities for
women and to enlarge the fields where
these women could put their training to
use. Today with over 155,000 mem-
bers and 1500 branches in the 50
states, the District of Columbia and
Guam, they still pursue their original
purpose. Because of their number and
work, they speak representatively for
the American woman university or
college graduate.
For further information concerning
this organization, Atlanta residents
should contact Mrs. J. F. Anderson,
6533 Cherrytree Lane, N. E., Atlanta,
Georgia. Alumae residing out of At-
lanta and out of state should contact
their area representative.

*In these two years, large donations were contributed but due to circumstances of the indi-
viduals involved the donations were not repeated in subsequent years.
#In these two years automobiles were donated to the college by alumni which increased the
in-kind gift total for the year.
In 1960 the pledge envelope system was introduced in the alumni giving
campaign and as evidenced by the increase in the amount donated certainly
warrants its continued use. This system replaces the dues idea which was a limit-
ing element in the amount of contributions which could be expected to the college.
In 1963 a concentrated effort was made to locate the alumni who for one
reason or other had become "lost". As a result of this, the alumni mailing list
has been increased by about 1000 new names.
1963-64. Although the total donated to the college was not as much as the
previous thre'e years, (see * and # above and excluding the large gifts) more
was contributed by the alumni than ever before.

Education
"The woods are lovely, dark, and
deep, but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep."
Robert Frost Wrote . . .
School spirit is something that can
make a difference in the life of an edu-
cation institution. Through the years,
Oglethorpe University has maintained
an active "school spirit."
In more recent years. Coach Pin-
holster and former Booster Club Presi-
dent Steve Schmidt has built upon
Oglethorpe's "school spirit" of the 20's
and 30's. Renewed interest in athletics
and college financial support has been
a direct result of their efforts. All
alumni should be appreciative to them
for their endeavor in building "school
spirit" among students and alumni.
Our school spirit must continue to
carry over into all phases of the life of
the college. Alumni are to be congrat-
ulated upon responding to a call for
financial support last year by the great-
est number of individual contributions
in a number of years. This is an indica-
tion of continuing "school spirit."
Oglethorpe University has earned a
place at the "top of the ladder" in aca-
demic achievement. We have risen to
the peak in athletics among the small
colleges. We will continue to have suc-
cess as long as Oglethorpe Alumni con-
tinue their "school spirit."
We have "miles to go before . . .
sleep" in building a college second to
none. The mainstream of American
Education is a strong and vital force in
world leadership. We have "promises to
keep." Let us all strive for excellance
in education. Our "school spirit for
Oglethorpe can do much for contribut-
ing to a better world of tomorrow
through developing leaders in all fields
to meet the promises made to a chang-
ing complex world. Your "school spirit"
is vital ! We need more of it !

Why
Oglethorpe
A few days ago while trying to catch
my breath after a game of "pitch" with
my five year old, I asked him, what, in
addition to a fireman and bulldozer
operator, he wanted to be when he
grew up. His reply was that he wanted
to be a doctor. While contemplating
this reply many things came to mind.
Among other things I thought of where
he should get the training for such a
career. It took no budding genius to
think of Oglethorpe as the place for
pre-medical training. But then, I asked
myself, 'why Oglethorpe"? There are
as many answers to this question as
there are alumni. I personally feel that
the type of education offered there
cannot be equalled anywhere. This is
so because few institutions attempt to
gi\e the student the all round approach
found there. And moreover, few insti-
tutions can give it because most do not
have the intent, the academic freedom
or the overall atmosphere to allow it.
Something else too — they do not have
an Abbott, a Cressy, a Goslin or a
Seward to provide it to the students.
As my thoughts rambled on, I won-
dered if there would be an Oglethorpe
for my son to attend when he became a
young man. I came to the conclusion
that there may not be unless its chal-
lenges and needs on all fronts are
thoroughly met. I know the faculty and
administration will meet their chal-
lenges if they are given the tools to do
so. One of these tools is staunch finan-
cial support from alumni and friends.
I know we, her alumni, can and will
meet our part of the need if we will
stop to think what the word Oglethorpe
means to us.
I pledge to meet part of our chal-
lenge to preserve the "Oglethorpe
Idea"! Will you do likewise when the
opportunity is presented in the very
near future?

Oglethorpe Sports
Oglethorpe University sports began
in full swing as October ushered in
Autumn. Soccer took the headline as
the 1964-65 opening competitive sport
and basketball practice officially began
on October 15.
In soccer, Coach Billy Carter has
organized what is expected to be his
finest team in the four years of the
sport's existence. Returning eight let-
termen from last season's 1-7-2 record,
the Stormy Petrels were able to assem-
ble 23 men for the total squad, a fact
that Coach Carter finds comforting.
"Until this year," Carter emphasized,
"we only had 12 or 13 men report for
soccer, and it was difficult forming a
representative team. But with 23 men,
we have ample substitutes and the team
has been greatly strengthened. Too,
having eight men back from last year
gives us a pretty good core to work
with."
The returnees are Roy Cowart, Ed
Daffin, Jack Grubb, Ben Hargrove, Jeff
Hayden, Andy Holland, Tim Marx,
Pete Outhwaite, Robert Richards and
Glen Rose.
Oglethorpe's soccer opponents are
among the finest in the South and in-
clude Emory University, Emory-at-
Oxford, Belmont Abbey, Berry, St.
Bernard, Furman University and
Davidson. With the exception of David-
son, Furman and Belmont Abbey, the
Petrels were to meet each team twice.
In the season's first two games, Ogle-
thorpe fell in defeat — a 2-1 margin by
St. Bernard and an 8-0 blanking by
Davidson.
"From the first two games it may
sound as though we're in for a rough
time," Carter explained. "But those are
two of the toughest teams we'll face. We
feel certain we'll be able to win four or
five this year."
Hargrove, a baseball veteran, is in
his fourth year as a soccer regular and
serves as captain and spiritual leader
of the Petrels. A center-forward, he
scored O.U.'s only points in the first
two games.
The addition of two foreign students,
both formally exposed to soccer in
their native lands, has boosted the
power of the team. Miguel Rivarola,
who plays wing, is from Paraguay, and
Michael Streicher, also a wing, hails
from Germany.
In basketball. Coach Garland Pin-
holster faces the 1964-65 season with
only five men back from last year, but
the new faces add a sparkle that could
turn into a highly successful glow.
Back are guard Ray Thomas, who is
the pulse-beat of the club, guard Bill
Garrigan, center Walker Heard, center
Jimbo Hartlage, and forward Billy
Parker. All have seen extensive service
and are well-versed in the Oglethorpe
system.
But the addition of transfer guard
Wayne Johnson (Headland High
School, via Young Harris College) and
ex-Georgia Tech center Jimmy Tumlin
has strengthened the gaps of gradua-
tion. Johnson, a 5-9 playmaker, exhibits
the drive and leadership that should
make him a Petrel favorite, and Tumlin,
a 6-6, 220-pounder, has the potential
to be a superior athlete.
Yet, there is another bright note —
the freshmen. Coach Pinholster has at-
tracted six men who could greatly en-
hance the future of basketball on the
O.U. campus.
From Georgia, the Petrels landed
guard Doug Alexander (6-1) from
Cross Keys High School; guard Jimmy
Fain (6-0) from Decatur, and guard
Roger Dodgen (5-9) from South Cobb.
All were superior high school athletes
and played on three of the state's finest
teams.
Also on the freshman roster are two
high school classmates from Albion,
111., one of the top teams in Illinois.
The two are forward Jerry Sams (6-4)
and forward Bill Carson (6-4). The
other out-of-state signee is guard Roger
Littell (6-1) from Osgood, Ind.
Thus far Coach Pinholster has sched-
uled 21 regular season games, opening
on December 2 at Oglethorpe against
Piedmont. The annual Christmas Invi-
tational Tournament at Oglethorpe will
be played Dec. 18 and 19, with the
Petrels hosting Transylvania, Denison
and Bellarmine Colleges.
"We have a lot of hope and enthu-
siasm for this year's team," Pinholster
said. "Of course, we have to work
them as units before we can tell really
what we have. But we think it could be
a fine squad.
"We'll probably change our attack
a little to fit the personnel," he con-
tinued. "We know what our returning
boys can do and we'll work the others
in for the best possible effect. Right
now, I believe it'll be an exciting team
to watch, one of the best for the fans
that we've had here."
Jay Rowland Dies
William J. (Jay) Rowland, '62, died
unexpectedly at his home October 21,
1964.
Rowland, an All American player in
high school, was regarded as one of
the best guards to ever play on Coach
Pinholster's team at Oglethorpe. He
was on the varsity the four years he
was at Oglethorpe. In addition to his
athletic ability, he was president of his
freshman class, parliamentarian his
junior year and was presented the
Boar's Head award.
He is survived by his wife, the former
Peggy Hartis '61, daughter Jenifer;
parents Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Rowland,
Sr. of Florida and one brother, Donald.
